[xcrysden] 回复: can’t select atom

[LEUNG Clarence]

Dear Gavin,

Thanks for your reply.

The system of my laptop (Lenovo) is:
Edition: Windows 10 Home
Version: 1909
OS build: 18363.959

For Cygwin, version 2.905 64 bit

For the package is as follows:

It is found that when using X11, I click the red circle, the green atom will be selected.

Clarence,

Good to read at [1] that you got it to work with Xming.

In my case, I did not have to use Xming.  You probably saw in the screenshot [2] that I used a XTerm window for what is described at [3].

As shown in image [4], I used Cygwin's X.org Server [5] and clicked on XWin Server under the Windows start menu (as shown in your image [6]).  Then, I right-clicked on the Cygwin-X icon in the taskbar (as shown in your image [7]) and under System Tools opened the XTerm window.  For the Cygwin Setup version 2.905 64 bit used [8], the xorg-server 1.20.5-3 was the version installed.

Hi,

it seems to me that you are using cygwin-s xwindow system (I could be wrong), perhaps try to install Xming:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/

make sure that it's running and before doing anything in cygwin type in the terminal:

export DISPLAY=:0

 (you can also add this to your ~/.bashrc to avoid typing it everytime)

I hope this helps/works, if not please let me know,

Best,

Matic


Dear Matic,

Thanks for your reply.

I am using X11 (I am not sure). The icon is as follows:

Hi Clarence,

if the cygwin version isn't working for you on Win10 perhaps try the WSL version, the installation should be straightforward, but if you have issues please share.

Basically you have to install windows subsystem for Linux:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

and follow the instructions on the xcrysden download page for wsl:

http://www.xcrysden.org/Download.html

I think that version is closer to the Linux version and should work better, one problem I can think of is that maybe the X-window system you are using on windows has some issues with Xcrysden, are you using Xming or something else?

Best,

Matic Poberznik


Dear Gavin,

Thanks for your sharing.

I have two laptop: one is windows 10, can't select; another is windows 7, can select like you.

It is very strange and I have no idea at all.

Best regards,
Clarence
